Great colors, and very dramatic sky. Then the yellow line guides the eye up to infinity, and pars very well with the yellow of the trees. A great composition under many aspects.

Hu Lucie
excellent composition with poetry. I like this long long perspective. I hope as longer as possible as our life.
Beautifull light and contrasts.
Congratulations

Like the low POV. Great saturation. Maybe a little over sharpened? Very eye catching though. Rgds, Leilani

I remember this. It was the first photo I commented from your gallery. It's the same place where you took your first upload. Light is still amazing. The vertical compo is great but I prefer the horizontal one because it goes against all the verticalness of the scene. Along with your words, it's a very sensitive image. From here, there's an entire world waiting for you.

Hello Lucie,
Superbes contrastes et un pov qui donne une belle perspective et profondeur à cette vue.
Magnifiques couleurs sous un ciel qui annonce le pire!

Lucie,
this low POV's using the lines on the roads are extremely effective to create a wonderful feeling of DOF with a line leading to the infinity. The texture of the road looks like sandpaper and cotrast so well with the colors at the street sides. Finally the dark sky provides the right ambiente to make the whole scene shine.

Hi Lucie,
I like this image and I like your philosophical reflections as well - you are right especially for photography, patience and timing make all the difference. This fall scene is stunning with the very dark clouds hovering over the sun touched golden fall colors - and the road leads us into this outstanding shot. Great work and TFS. Gerald

Excellent scene, great PoV, although my personal favorite is when I can get down to the road itself, I love the growing effect it portrays into depth. I liked the symmetry in your frame too. Nice colors and good exposure levels used.

Hi Lucie,
The end of your note reminds me of my dad, when he says "Patience, my daughter, patience"... :-)
I love the contrasting colors and excellent light management of your photo. The sky is just amazingly dramatic and this "golden" road that leads to a more serene background full of hope.
Well done!
Best regards,
Bea

Uh, what a strong colour contrast in this one,
Lucie! Even a wee bit too sharp for my taste,
I somehow like this surreal grain of the road...
Lovely light and fantastic weather conditions
for taking dramatic photos!
Well done,
Robi

Wow, the contrast in this is really amazing, the clouds are so dark that it seems almost like night, with a small sliver of daylight at the horizon. Wonderful road shot and a beautiful note also.

What do I like more in your photo? The texture of the road? The triangles of the golden trees on the side of the road? The "Independence Day-like" clouds?
They are all beautiful but I like most the originality, the IDEA behind your composition.
The idea; it`s either you have it or you don`t have it.This cannot be learned,you have to be born with it and I think this separates the artists from the others.
My respects,Lucie.

Hello Lucie,

Une très belle perspective aux couleurs automnales superbes !
Les 2 bandes formées par les arbres au bord de la route sont réellement captivantes et se marient bien avec la ligne jaune de la route ! De plus le ciel est impressionnant ! il y peut-être une peut trop de sharpening à mon goût mais il s'agit du seul défaut !
Tu as eu une excellente idée !

A+

Hi Lucie. Great depth and good contrast colors of dark blue and yellow. The stripes takes us straight out into the horisont and let the thoughts fly with it. Threathening clouds creating a special mood along with the contrast to the strong light on the right side trees. Nice. Take care, Jens :-)

Hi Lucie,
at first I have to pay you a big compliment. Your gallery is really diversified and interesting. Furthermore your shots offer a great quality.
This shot catches the viewer by it´s fantastic depth and contrast. Especially the rich colours are silhouetted against the dark clouds.
I am looking forward your next shot
Best regards

Hi Lucie,
of course all your photos are gorgeous, but this one hits me for the note (are those your words or someone else?) and for the contrast between the road and the sky. I cannot say anything more original than... wonderful.

Wonderful shot Lucie. I like the 1:3 proportion. It emphasizes the path or journey that seems to be long sometimes, but short in reality. The end is a bit dark but with some light opening below in the sky colour. Really nice.

You have so many photos from all over the world. IF you are going to Damascus, as you say, you should have a wonderful photography time!

cheers

Hello Lucy! You nicely tied many wonderful elements together to produce a striking image with great depth.The various yellows in the scene are fabulous and contrast beautifully with the pavement and dark clouds.

Well done!

Nice capture Lucie. I really like the road divider leading off to the distance. I love the details you captured. The picture looks very real, as if I'm really there. Love the storm clouds and the lighting here.

Hello,
a very nice photo. The road (and its median) leading our view to the horizont, where some small opening amidst the dark clouds has appeared... And the autumn colours of the trees standing by and watching us.

Best regards, Kristof

Hello Lucie
Not only is the photo simply wonderful,
great exposure, great capture of the details on the highway beautiful light, but the meaning of the photo specially as seen through your comments is very deep.
I can totally relate to your thoughts about the way life leads you to unexpected places.
